Domaine Skouras Salto 2022
£15.99
This exciting white is from the prestigious Domaine Skouras winery, located in the Nemea region of Greece. Founded by George Skouras, the estate is known for its innovative approach to winemaking while respecting traditional Greek varieties. Mantineia, a plateau at 650 metres in the Peloponnese, is one of Greece’s coldest wine regions, perfect for late-ripening varieties like Mavrofilero. Surrounded by mountains, it experiences frequent clouds, rain, and frost. George Skouras, the owner and winemaker, studied oenology at Dijon University and worked in France, Italy, and Greece before founding Domaine Skouras in 1986. Skouras specialises in the Mavrofiliera varietal, a highly aromatic grape, similar to Moscofilero, it is named “Mavro” meaning black to reflect the deep greyish colour of its skins. They ferment the grapes with wild yeast, allowing for the purest and most natural expression of this exciting grape. Expect floral aromas of jasmine, rose, honeysuckle and verbena, as well as citrus bursts of lime and lemon. This wine pairs excellently with grilled fish, salty dishes and Mediterranean cuisine.
